On step 47 (Canopy Mounts), in the instruction manual for the Raven .50 it states to insert the rubber mounts into the canopy but there is no holes to do so. If you look very close at the canopy, you can see round makings, is this where you drill the holes for the rubber mounts and if so, what size bit do you use?

i think the little dots on the canopy were a little bit off. i tried the canopy on first(making sure the front latch is secured) and made a mark with a sharpie where there standoff posts met the canopy and drilled there.

i don't remember the drill bit size. i just did it by eye and tried to fit the mounts, if it was too tight, i just tried the next larger size drill bit. had to do this 2 or 3 times before i got a good fit that wasn't too tight. also put a little dab of CA glue to fasten the rubber mount onto the canopy - it should last much longer that way.

a 5/16 drill bit should do just fine, if you dont have one, the next common standard size up is 11/32, the grommet will be a little looser, but should still be ok.

A 5/16 drill bit did the job. Thanks! Looks like I just have a few odds and ends and someone local is going to look over the bird since this is my first one then I will be ready to fly it. Heck, I am ready to fly it now but I think it would be best for me to wait till this guy looks over it.
